by a group of protesters they tried to set it alight the day before but were pushed back this time though it was left burning. demonstrators venting their anger about iran's alleged involvement in iraqi politics and its failure as i say to deliver key services to the city people here believe the politicians have turned their backs on that neglecting government corruption has caused a systematic decay of its infrastructure yes. why eleven come to parliament and inside the green zone while we were out here dying of hunger and thirst why are young people in graduate school in the market selling onions all the government jobs and restricted to the parties. at least fifteen buildings connected to politics and the oath or it is have been targeted in the past few days this is the shell of the provincial government offices. some iraqis have been killed in

what's regarded as iraq's shia muslim heartland in northern bass where hundreds of people were attending a funeral and. these are protesters. they are protesting unemployment the water crisis the bad services how dad how to kill them would never allow this. during friday prayers the representative of a rexx leading shia cleric condemned the violence against both the protesters and security forces guarding the buildings he also criticised politicians for being too interested in buying the power to shop at sab miller the patient people cannot afford or lack of interest from the officials in solving their increasing problems and the crisis they're competing between themselves for political gain and gaining governmental posts along foreigners to intervene in the country's affairs. iraq's

parliament is expected to hold an emergency session to discuss the crisis on saturday and he would al-jazeera about how tim is a professor at george washington university who researches research and trust rather include iraq and iran he joins us from d.c. via skype and thank you so much for your time so why the anger at iran. well then go right now is directed in every direction again old. iran normally is the one that gets to be closest when you talk about but from a lot of the iranian influence among the. groups whether they are in the local politics on or and their local social leadership including the fighting groups. so it is one of the rituals the direct including or included in the eyes of the targets of the i'm bored right now and as we know that you're going in there once

and iraq is undeniable so that's the reason ok so having said that because they do have some sort of influence in this area do they have any influence to tamp any of this down or assist something strictly that the iraqi government needs to deal with so i don't believe they are going to interfere in any way by do so force or any other means it is up to the iraqi government and that's why the iraqi government sent forces on force and force months will be probably taken that also is the prerogative of the social leadership and the un but for tribal leaders . group leaders really just that's why the the march to the grand ayatollah seyyed to sunny's says representative dollars to vote for us so i think it is now. on hold so it is the role of the government to

come out on some kind of statement neither of the president nor the prime minister have spoken to why he will back that is. two reasons one of them i think they don't have anything to say they don't have any credibility the second part is that the president is the first who doesn't have any credibility outside the kurdish north of fort dix factions say allegiance to him and the prime minister is also note c n n a popular and the four bus ride let's remember the bus route was not one one by the prime minister coalition and the first one won by by these competing groups so that's one thing the other thing i think they don't have the creativity or the imagination of doing that i think glossy old has full weeks left in his term very questionable that you want to go to confirm i don't see anything that he has right now that the con promise the people who already wasted

four years not doing what you were supposed to do to pick some of these long term problems just like a. minister nouri maliki way that eight years bus run has been used and abused time ago since two thousand and three indeed even if the time prior to the two thousand and three others and change ok i've lost count and thank you so much for your app expert taste on this we appreciate it thank you turkey says it can take in more syrian refugees as government and russian forces push ahead with an offensive to retake and lead president wretched thai party won as warning of a bloodbath and the last rebel help province and let the leaders of iran and russia to discuss how to prevent humanitarian crisis for the three million people trapped there to misrata has more from tehran three leaders of modern nations born from ancient empires around a table into her on the plan the future of

a country whose leader was not in the room. as the presidents of russia and iran patted themselves on the back for a job well done keeping syrian president bashar al assad in power turkey's leader reminded them that the mission was far from accomplished we do not want a bloodbath in italy and we expect you to support us in this regard a decision which we reach in relation to the fates of it lib will also shape the future of the region much of the to her own summit was spent talking about the future of it blew up the syrian city and province where armed groups and opposition rebels are preparing to make their last stand against syrian government forces and russian warplanes for the underwriters of the syrian conflict it blue is a clearly a point of divergence iran and russia see it in national security terms the syrian government needs to regain control of the city to combat what it calls terrorism as well as asserting national integrity turkey already home to three and a half million syrian refugees sees it live in humanitarian terms president recha

paper to once said the majority of men women and children there are not fighters and have suffered enough and the turks can't cope with millions more fling it iran's president acknowledged that the vast majority of people in ad lib are civilians. so c.n.n. . is sensed it because terrorists use civilian people as human shields they hide themselves among people to continue their shameful really we should try to separate terrorists from people fight terrorists and protect civilians in this area but if iran's leader held the middle ground russian president vladimir putin whose military involvement turned the war in us its favor has a different view if armed groups are willing to use civilians as human shields he said what happens next is their fault. those are good looks that terrorists do the same thing everywhere all the time they use human shields the russian military always tries to spare civilian lives soon after that they're on some it ended the

united nations peace envoy for syria warned the security council that. any battle for ad lib would be horrific and the the time has come to evacuate the city throughout the day leaders in tehran discussed a future syria free from terrorists with new buildings a new constitution and even elections while leaders in new york were left to weigh the potentially disastrous consequences of what seems like the inevitable battle for it live in basra the olders here at. our diplomatic editor james spader's has more on that u.n. security council meeting from its headquarters in new york i think many diplomats believe it's not now a case of if there is an offensive in need live but when despite that though stefan de mistura the u.n. special envoy has come up with a new plan to stop the bloodshed he first said he'd like to give the security council the plan in a private session but then and thus the nikki haley the u.s. ambassador who's the current this month president of the security council said no

we want to hear your plan in public and this is what he said ideally all militant fighters should be asked with a deadline to move their own military presence baith this way i did beat away from populated think of villages at the same time and here comes the message and the message i got from the population. i mean. indicating that this is what they've been asked from door. to move out day in my house those day may city three million people are going to be mobilized on that so one of the leavers for this plan is that people power guessing the civilians in england to say to the fighters you need to move out of the built up areas out of the villages and towns and cities the other lever he says is the turkish government putting pressure on those fighters but i think there is

a big question here if you are a fighter or a commander of one of those fighting groups has been fighting now in this war for more than seventy years why would you now leave areas built up areas among civilians where you may feel more safe and instead go into the countryside when you know that the syrian government and the russians have ready to bomb you people and lead have been protesting against threats of a government assault. has more. what are they going to be that they were going to do about that it would be about dozens of demonstrations in the province of it live and the countryside of pema and aleppo have taken place condemning the russian intervention and moscow's threats to launch a military operation it limp the demonstrators called for the armed opposition factions to unite to repel any possible attack by the regime forces and their allies on it and at suburbs the demonstrators carried banners condemning the u.n.

envoy to mr with statements about it live and the thought of and so the international community about the threats of the regime forces and its allies to launch a military operation on the raging. flame war head in the news hour including. you need to vote because our democracy depends on. iraq obama speaks out in a scathing assessment of politics in. the front runners and the hospital and in jail a new name emerges and brazil's unpredictable race for president. in sport more records for mike bryant of the u.s. open in the eyes of the details and for. a former campaign adviser for donald trump is going to prison for two weeks for lying to the f.b.i. george papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to investigators about his contacts

with russians during the two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign he has been a central figure of special counsel robert mowers probe into possible russian interference. ports from washington d.c. . so in this courtroom george papadopoulos learned that he will spend at least fourteen days in prison coming up in the next couple of months he's also going to have to serve two hundred hours of community service pay a nine thousand five hundred dollars fine and he will be on supervised release for an entire year now who is george papadopoulos but he's really one of the key reasons why the f.b.i. began looking into the potential of collusion between russia and the trump campaign potential russian interference in the twenty sixteen election how is that well he was drinking in a london bar while talking to a diplomat from australia and he told them that some russian officials had told him that they had dirt on hillary clinton well after her e-mail those d.n.c. democratic national committee e-mails were released they notified the f.b.i. and that is what kicked off the investigation so the sentence of fourteen days

that's because george admits he lied to the f.b.i. when they tried to question him about it he said it took about six months when they came back at the arrested him then he offered a career cooperate but they say he did so begrudgingly and didn't give them a whole lot of helpful information still the judge did say that it was a very serious crime and so he said he was going to sentence him to fourteen. are u.s. president barack obama has criticized his successor donald trump and the republican party and a rare political speech obama urged people to vote in november midterm congressional elections which could have a major impact on trump's presidency our white house correspondent kimberly how could reports accusing current president donald trump of capitalizing on resentment former u.s. president barack obama delivered a blistering attack on trump's time in the white house this is not normal these are extraordinary times and they're dangerous drug. obama is back on the campaign trail

advocating for democrats in advance of a november vote that will determine control of the u.s. congress and offer what he believes is a much needed check on his successor the politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the republican party obama's fiery speech took aim at some of trump's most controversial moments as president looting his response to white nationalist protests in charlottesville when trump claimed both sides of the trouble were supposed to stand up to discrimination and was sure as heck supposed to stand up clearly and unequivocally to nazi sympathizers. how hard can that be saying that nazis are bad obama's attack comes as trump is also campaigning for republicans in north dakota trump responded i'm sorry i

watched it but i fell asleep. he shot back at obama who said the economic recovery started under his presidency if the democrats got in with their agenda in november of almost two years ago and said that having four point two i believe honestly you'd have four point two down you'd be negative you'd be in negative numbers thank you illinois. still obama's speech is a stinging rebuke of a sitting president with a distinctly different vision of democracy kimberly hellcat al-jazeera washington. bussin augustine is a former obama administration and legislative affairs adviser she joins us live from washington d.c. thank you so much for your time. can you put in some sort of context or perspective for us how unusual it is for a president to be so critical of his successor so named him

exactly it's extremely rare we saw that during the entire obama administration president george w. bush never really came out once criticizing the obama family but i think and i think president obama extended that grace to president trump and his wife early on in the administration but i think it's very clear that president obama feels passionately that president trump's agenda is undermining the long term interests of the american people in the united states of america and he understands how desperately the democratic party needs his voice we have yet to see a rising star rising leader in the democratic party and at this time it is still president obama and so these words were very important so having said that what type of impact do you think he will actually have on the midterms. i think that this needs to be the beginning of a longer term effort to turn out the turn out the vote mobilize young people remind

them of the power that they have inspired them to participate in politics and remind them of the need for them to participate in politics i think we saw a lot of apathy because people expected hillary clinton to weigh in and were over confident that she would and took the idea of progress in the united states for granted and i think donald trump selection really shows all of us that that is not a virtue we can take for granted and we do we do indeed need to make it happen ourselves and as president obama has said time and time again the arc or rather the strive for justice is long but the arc of history bends towards it so one of the critiques that barack obama had in his speech was that he felt that donald trump was a bit of a reaction to to barack obama being elected so having said that might

barack obama being out there again basically on the campaign trail might that also motivate donald trump's supporters. but many people who voted for barack obama voted for donald trump because donald trump really appealed to you know the working class blue collar workers and they trust they trusted that a businessman in office would be able to create more jobs for them but we've seen time and time again that as much as donald trump ran on helping the underdogs all of his policies go to benefit billionaires and millionaires and trillion heirs and his own personal family and so we haven't really seen him deliver on those specific promises to better the lives of the working class and we know that a democratic agenda by and large dies and so it's very important that president

obama continue to urge young american secret out the vote in the midterm elections and we also know that he surge an initiative with his former department of justice secretary eric holder to combat redistricting efforts by the republican party to undermine democratic voting efforts in the united states ok and just to be clear obviously the republicans wouldn't necessarily agree with the assessment that you had but but that's politics but so let me ask you this then for the midterms for people to express their views on the positions of the democrats and the republicans what type of impact do you think that this will have on tonal trumps presidency is are the midterms some sort of referendum on donald trump's policies both domestic and foreign. absolutely they are and right now you know the republican party controls both the executive branch and both chambers of congress and potentially as we've been seeing with brett kavanaugh as judiciary hearings this week potentially

the supreme court is up for grabs as well during the trauma ministration term and so if the democrats are successful in taking back the house which every single house seat is up for reelection this cycle only a third of the senate is but if we are successful in taking back the house we can especially for every legislative agenda item by the trump administration because any laws passed two chambers and if it can only pass the senate well it just doesn't matter it has to pass both chambers and so that will certainly be a huge check on the trump administration policy agenda without a doubt awesome algo saying thank you so much for joining us appreciate it. israeli soldiers have shot dead a palestinian teenager during renewed protests on the gaza border the palestinian health ministry says the seventeen year old was shot in the chest and ninety four others were injured including thirty with live bullets palestinians have been

the balkans which has already suffered brutal conflict following the breakdown of yugoslavia one of the plans that people here fear is being discussed is moving the border to this railway track now while that would put the town of pressure firmly within the borders of kosovo it would mean that these outlying villages would still be in serbia and leave thousands of other albanians still stuck there. moreover there is still uncertainty as to what wants to be a would want to return but would likely dominated northern kosovo which it views is non-negotiable yes we would like to be a part of republic of course but the we have to be very careful you know declinations in terms of you know for republic of course or to be. a lot of sacrifice has been done by all the organs including the organs of. we don't want to interfere in this process this also poses another dilemma for the region's leaders
